Skipper Joe Launchbury and Kearnan Myall form the second row partnership, with Haskell packing down as blindside flanker, Thomas Young on the openside and Nathan Hughes at no 8 Matt Symons and Alex Rieder are named among the replacements, with Joe Simpson, Alapati Leiua and Josh Bassett also looking forward to making an impact from the bench.

Ahead of the European Quarter Final, Wasps’ Director of Rugby Dai Young said: “As you can imagine, we are all really looking forward to the contest in Dublin this weekend.

"These are the games you want to be involved in and work hard all season to reach.

"Two quality teams going head-to-head in front of nigh on 50,000 people, so it will be a fantastic occasion for players, coaches and fans.

“We know the majority will be behind Leinster, but I’m sure we will also have fantastic travelling support, like we always do.

"It should be a great atmosphere and the type of occasion that players will be excited by and thrive on.

"It’s a challenge you run into, not away from.

“Leinster have half the Irish pack and half the Irish backs, so they’re pretty formidable that’s for sure.

"We’re also confident in our own abilities and competition for places has been so high that there have been a number of tight selection calls.

"In some cases, calls could have gone either way but that’s where we want to be as a squad, approaching our games as a 23-man squad.

“It will be important to get off to a good start in Dublin, but equally as important is having a strong bench who can come on and make a big impact, to help finish a game strongly and that’s what we’ve gone for this weekend.

"We know there are no second chances in knock-out rugby, so we will need to be at our absolute best and play the game we want to play if we’re to get a result.”
